How to make a Pussywillow Wreath
Pussywillow Wreath
by lritchie -2009-
Supplies:
- pussywillow branches
- cable ties
- wire and wire cutters
- plant clippers
_ These are the branches that I cut for my wreath.
_ I recut my branches to a more manageable size.
_ Some of the branches were at least 7 feet
_ and some were 2 feet or less.
_ I had to bring my branches in the house because it was going to rain and then snow.
_ Since I didn't want my branches to get wet or continue to bloom.... I had to. :)
_ I also covered the whole main floor with pussywillow catkins for two days but my family didn't complain. :)
_ I only used 5 branches and they were about 7 feet long.
_ I tied 5 branches together with cable ties to make a little bundle.
_ That was the beginning of my rope for my wreath form.
_ The cable ties can be bought at the $store or a hardware store.
_ Make sure the branches you select are not too thick because you have to bend them into your wreath shape.
